Applying eects to specic acoustic sounds
You can produce richer and more realistic performance expressions by using the D-BEAM controller or a footswitch of a pedalboard (PK-9; sold
separately) to apply various eects to specic acoustic sounds.
If using the D-BEAM controller: Assign “N.Control 1” or “N.Control 2” as the function of the [CONTROLLER] button (p. 24).
If using a footswitch:
Assign “N. CONTROL1” or “N. CONTROL2” as the function of the footswitch (L Foot Switch, R Foot Switch) (p. 47).
The VR-09 lets you apply eects to the following acoustic sounds.
Sound name Explanation
Eect
N. CONTROL1 N. CONTROL2
N.Trumpet (BRASS)
It is especially eective to utilize the fall technique in which the trumpet’s pitch
descends through the overtone series.
Glissando Fall
N.Alto Sax (BRASS) This is notable for its beautifully supple tone and its growl playing technique. Glissando Growl
N.Flute (OTHERS)
This is a realistic ute voice that includes the sound of the air that escapes when the
instrument is blown.
Staccato Growl
N.AcousticBs (BASS)
This is a realistic sound that includes the sound of the string being plucked and striking
the ngerboard. Pitches will be smoothly connected when you play legato.

Eect list
Eect Explanation
Portamento, Glissando
These performance techniques connect one note with the next. Depending on the construction of the instrument, the pitch transition
can be smooth or stepwise.
Fall This is the technique of rapidly lowering the pitch of a wind instrument while simultaneously producing a decrescendo.
Growl This technique produces a powerful sound by simultaneously breathing and growling into a wind instrument.
Harmonics
This is a technique in which a string of the guitar is ngered lightly to sound an overtone. A pitch one octave higher than the keyboard
note will be heard.
